Abstract
A foldable box template includes first, second, third, fourth, and fifth segments. Each of the segments has a length, a width, and one or more flaps. The first segment is positioned at a first end of the template and the fifth segment is positioned at a second, opposing end of the template. The sum of the lengths of the first segment and the fifth segment is generally equal to the length of the third segment. As a result, the first and fifth segments form a seam on a sidewall of a box formed from the box template. In some cases, the seam formed by the first and fifth segments is offset from seams formed in top and bottom surfaces of the box. The seam formed by the first and fifth segments is offset from a corner of the box.
Claims41
A foldable template for forming a box, comprising:
- a first segment disposed at a first end of said template, the first segment having a length, a width, and one or more flaps;
- a second segment having a length, a width, and one or more flaps;
- a third segment having a length, a width, and one or more flaps;
- a fourth segment having a length, a width, and one or more flaps;
- and
- a fifth segment disposed at a second end of said template opposite to said first segment, the fifth segment having a length, a width, and one or more flaps, wherein the sum of the lengths of the first segment and the fifth segment is generally equal to the length of the third segment.
(canceled)
A foldable box, comprising:
- a top surface formed by two opposing top flaps, wherein the two opposing top flaps form a top seam;
- a bottom surface formed by two opposing bottom flaps, wherein the two opposing bottom flaps form a bottom seam;
- and
- four sidewalls extending between the top and bottom surfaces, wherein one of the sidewalls is comprised of two segments that form a sidewall seam, and wherein the sidewall seam is offset from a corner of said foldable box.

A method of making a box, comprising:
- providing a foldable box template having five segments each having a length, a width, and one or more flaps, wherein two of the segments are disposed on opposite ends of the foldable box template, wherein the sum of the lengths of the two opposing end segments is generally equal to the length of a middle segment;
- folding the foldable box template such that two flaps form a top surface and define a top seam;
- folding the foldable box template such that two other flaps form a bottom surface and define a bottom seam;
- and
- folding the foldable box template to form four sidewalls, wherein a first sidewall is formed from the two opposing end segments, the two opposing end segments forming a sidewall seam that is offset from a corner of said box.
